Wichita State has dismissed Teddy Allen, a projected starter, from the program less than a week after he was arrested and accused of causing a disturbance at a woman's home.

“Coach (Gregg) Marshall and I met over the weekend to discuss the situation and the time that Teddy has spent within our program,” WSU athletic director Darron Boatright said in a statement (per the Wichita Eagle). “We came to this decision jointly and agreed that this is best for the program. We wish Teddy well moving forward.”

Allen was charged with two misdemeanors — domestic violence property crime and petty theft — last Thursday after a 23-year-old woman accused him of coming into her home, causing a disturbance, destroying her iPhone and stealing keys. He was booked into Sedgwick County Jail and released on $3,500 bond with an arraignment scheduled for July 29.

“I’m both disappointed and sad, and I’m regretful that I wasn’t able to help Teddy more,” coach Marshall said in the statement. “I wish Teddy nothing but the best in his future.”

The 6-foot-5 forward transferred to Wichita State from West Virginia but sat out last season after the NCAA denied his request for a waiver to immediately play, though he was allowed to travel with WSU on road trips.

Before Allen's dismissal, he was expected to be a starter for Wichita State after two of the team's top scorers from the past season graduated. While playing for West Virginia, he averaged seven points in less than 12 minutes off the bench and scored 34 points in the team’s NCAA Tournament run to the Sweet 16 in 2018.
